Chapter 416 - 415: Who Obtained the Precious Treasure

Chapter 416: Chapter 415: Who Obtained the Precious Treasure

Lord Guangluo and Lord Sujin exchanged a glance, both detecting the solemnity in each other’s eyes. This time, for the protection of the disciples undergoing training, they had arranged for two Divinity Transformation stage cultivators and three late-stage Nascent Souls.

The lineup was quite significant—usually, there was only one Divinity Transformation.

This time, Chaoruo, considering Xie Jiuniang’s instability, personally requested Lord Sujin of the Main Peak’s Divinity Transformation stage to accompany them.

Lord Sujin stood out.

Guangluo followed suit and stepped out, but he did not immediately invite them onto the Flying Boat, "My friends, it seems you have some free time."

"Not inviting us in for a drink?" The speaker was Lord Zangyan of the Sword Sect.

Lord Sujin smiled and said, "What’s so interesting about entering a Flying Boat? Let’s chat above the clouds, where the view is expansive, and the scenery is nice."

A number of Divinity Transformation cultivators subsequently flew into the sky.

Whatever they discussed was unknown.

Xie Jiuniang sat in a corner, casting a dim glance over the hall, her gaze suddenly meeting Mo Chuan’s.

He now looked as inconspicuous as he had when he first arrived.

He nodded at her, in greeting.

This made Xie Jiuniang think of the half portion of Dragon Breath Grass she had been separated from, feeling the pain once more.

Xie Jiuniang inquired of the Sword Spirit, "You dog thing, do you know what the Divinity Transformation has in mind?"

"Let me listen."

Jian Lingyan began to covertly eavesdrop.

The Barrier set up by the Divinity Transformation in the clouds was no obstacle for the Sword Spirit.

After a moment, Jian Lingyan said, "They brought up the issue with Tianxu Sect’s disciples. Someone was sour just now, Lord Guangluo said it’s because before entering the Secret Realm, someone from the Sect gathered information—it’s the batch from our master, so everyone was prepared in advance..."

"Do they believe it?"

"Whether they believe it or not, they have to, because it’s the truth."

"You’re right, I’m overthinking it. I even suspected that they were here to accuse and reprimand us," Xie Jiuniang revealed her thoughts.

At the time, the Demon Emperor didn’t discriminate between any Sects when killing.

Jian Lingyan immediately followed up, "Oh, they’ve started discussing it, talking about the upheaval in the Spiritless Ground, the mysterious powerful beings, and the emergence of treasured items."

"As expected..."

Xie Jiuniang knew it couldn’t be that simple.

Jian Lingyan continued to relay the information for Xie Jiuniang.

Meanwhile, above the clouds, someone stubbornly clung to the topic of treasured items, "We didn’t intend to snatch your things, just asking you to show them for a glimpse. Surely that’s not too much to ask?"

Lord Sujin became angry, nearly getting into a fight with that person, "My friends, are you planning to extort the Tianxu Sect by force?"

Lord Guangluo held back Sujin, his eyes showing a hint of derision, "The fates one encounters in the Secret Realm belong to them. Is the Wuji Sect not willing to abide by this rule anymore?"

The Wuji Sect’s Divinity Transformation cultivator denied, "Not at all."

Guangluo continued indifferently, "Let’s not discuss the truth of the emergence of treasures in the Secret Realm for now. With every Tianxu Sect disciple leaving the Secret Realm, your Divine Senses have swept over them several times. You must be aware of whether they hold any treasures, right?"

"Indeed, did you think no one would notice just because you used your Divine Sense underhandedly?" Lord Sujin sarcastically added.

The others were immediately at a loss for words.

If there truly were treasures, they could not be refined in a short time; anyone carrying them out of the Secret Realm could not hide it. Besides, if a Golden Core could refine them easily, Divinity Transformation cultivators wouldn’t care for such treasures.

Thus, everyone leaving the Secret Realm could not escape the eyes of the present Divinity Transformation cultivators.

Without the consent of others, searching someone is in itself rather indecent. Such matters would not usually be brought up openly. However, with Guangluo and Sujin pointing it out blatantly, it unavoidably led to some embarrassment.

This problem had occurred to everyone.

It’s just that without finding any treasures, some felt dissatisfied and came to investigate; no one wanted to show their hand before seeing the actual treasures.

Xie Jiuniang felt anxious.

When those Divine Senses had fallen upon her before, they hadn’t detected anything amiss. Later, Lord Sujin also blocked her.

Whatever was claimed as the significant treasure within the Secret Realm, it was supposed to be obtained by the Demon Emperor. Xie Jiuniang was unclear about the specifics.

Suddenly, Jian Lingyan exclaimed, "Dog owner, the Secret Realm is about to close!"

"The closure has happened, but at least I’ve come out already," Xie Jiuniang said nonchalantly.

Then, she swept another glance over the hall of the Flying Boat.

Five people were out of luck and would likely remain in the Secret Realm forever. It seemed as if she was casually looking around when suddenly, her gaze stalled, "Brother Rao Yang hasn’t come out?"

"Right, he hasn’t come out yet."

Jian Lingyan was also surprised.

Xie Jiuniang abruptly stood up and rushed to the deck of the Flying Boat, staring anxiously at the entrance to the Secret Realm.

Her hands tightly gripped the railing.

Her reaction startled a group of people.

"What’s wrong with Little Profiteer?" Zhan Chengxiu asked as he treated his wounds.

Tong Hanming shook his head, "I don’t know."

Ren Bingyan frowned as she looked around, "Brother Rao Yang hasn’t come out."

"Ah?"

That statement awakened those in a daze.

After emerging from the Secret Realm, everyone was extremely tired.

Back on the Sect’s Flying Boat, with everyone safe, people either rested to recover or treated their injuries, and no one had the time to worry about who had not yet left the Secret Realm, as it hadn’t been sealed completely.

Now the entrance to the Secret Realm was about to close.

But, five people hadn’t come out yet!

Thinking of this, everyone felt a heavy weight on their hearts.

"Gu Zheng hasn’t come out either," someone said in a low voice.

Someone else said in a muffled voice, "My eldest apprentice sister also hasn’t come out."

"Don’t be sad..."

Those who could stand got up and walked to the deck, looking towards the entrance of the Secret Realm, which was shrinking bit by bit. If they didn’t emerge before the Realm closed completely, they would be trapped inside forever.

At this moment, many had little hope that the missing would come out, yet they still clung to a thread of expectation.

The veins on Xie Jiuniang’s hands, gripping the railing, were prominent, revealing her inner turmoil to anyone who looked.

Never before had Xie Jiuniang wished so much for time to slow down.

So that the entrance wouldn’t vanish so quickly.

Just as the entrance to the Secret Realm shrank to the size of a fist and was about to disappear, at the very last moment, a bloody figure was expelled from the Realm and smashed heavily onto the ground, severely injured and spitting blood continuously.

Had they suffered extremely serious injuries?

The vestment robe was severely torn, but one could vaguely make out the Tianxu Sect’s uniform!

"Brother Rao Yang?!"

Xie Jiuniang leapt down from the Flying Boat and rushed toward the bleeding figure that had tumbled out of the Secret Realm.

A Nascent Soul Elder got there even faster, "This is bad, the injuries are grave, we need Lord Sujin’s healing."

He stuffed a high-grade Elixir into Rao Yang, then quickly took him back to the Flying Boat.

Xie Jiuniang turned and ran back to the Flying Boat, shouting toward the clouds, "Lord Guangluo, Lord Sujin, save him!"

"What has happened?"

Lord Guangluo appeared abruptly.

Right after, Lord Sujin returned as well.

Xie Jiuniang urged anxiously, "Please, both of you, save my second senior brother!"

As soon as the two saw the situation, both figures vanished in a flash.

By the time Xie Jiuniang got back to the Flying Boat and found several Elders, she learned that Lord Sujin, who had some medical knowledge, was administering treatment.

Lord Guangluo was assisting by the side.

The need for two Divinity Transformation experts for the healing revealed just how seriously Rao Yang was injured.
